The Top 100 Most Expensive PS2 Games! [September 2020]

[@GaryRetroGamer]

BEFORE posting a comment, please take a moment and understand what this video represents: value. This video tracks how much a PS2 video game is *worth* if someone wants to purchase or sell a copy. Based on data from a third party website, which itself tracks actual SOLD values on sites like Ebay and Amazon. This is *not* a list of quality or popularity. If anything, the more popular games tend to have the least value, which makes sense since popular games tend to have more copies out in the wild. So, if you're going to post a comment complaining about why "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" isn't here... please take some time to educate yourself first. Or just go away. This isn't rocket science, people.

[@mutechannel13]

Correct!!! These are Gems

[@lonewolffang]

Nice video. Thanks to you, I didn't even realize I had some gems on me. About 35% of this video I have, (2 on the og xbox) but the remainder on ps2.

I am still surprised how Silent Hill 3 back in 2013 was around $20-$25 CIB . Same price like in 2005 I remembered. Now its around 70 or more for CIB. Man, so glad I got mine before scalpers began getting their hands on it. No need to purchase 4th entry as SH4 is now available on GOG (PC release ) .

[@ucpham3567]

Hi everybody. I want to find a game that I played 10 years ago. This game is a 2-players game, the graphics seem to be made in Japan. In the game, players fight against the dark forces (like that). A female character in the game (like a fellow or a relative of the main character) is captured and brainwashed by the enemy. 2 players have to fight this female character, I have played to the stage meet a gate, to open that gate requires enough gems (you can get each gem in a different stage, including a stage in the desert and a stage in the forest).

[@Game-Now]

What platform did you play it on?

[@ucpham3567]

@@Game-Now ps2 or ps3 cause it was about 10 years ago

[@Game-Now]

@@ucpham3567 Could it have been Folklore for the PS3? Here is some gameplay. kzbin.info/www/bejne/anTaY5Jpmqh6b68 You play as two different characters named Ellen and Keats. You travel to different worlds to fight and capture creatures called Folk. Once captured, you can use the folk to fight against other folk. You collect gems to make them more powerful. I only recently discovered the game.

I'm so glad I had a weird horror game obsession back in 2008. Those seem to be the most rare.

I have just over 200 ps2 games in my collection, all CIB. I only have 13 on this list... and they are PAL versions, Haha, so not anything near the NTSC prices! Blood will tell is the most expensive ps2 game I own. I remember paying £15 for Def jam FFNY, CIB, in great condition (great game that). ✌️

[@serbukmomogi]

[@mplsgamer999]

Wouldn’t hurt for a updated version of this video, prices have increased just in the past 2years

I got alot of these games. I didnt know they were so worthy. I just love to play them. Im still collecting ps2 games. I advise any collector to hit up ebay for games. They dont realize the gems they are selling for 15 to 20 dollars. Get there fast before they see this video thou lol

[@mutechannel13]

@bat lol word up. Due to the C-Virus they are starting to go up thou.

[@adamsmoberly]

I have a few of these games, a bit I got back in the late 2000’s like Silent Hill 3. I did recently get Obscure, but I got it on X-Box. I wasn’t going to pay an arms and a leg for it and I never had any X-Box consoles before, so I bought it to play with. My copy is kinda crappy, but I do think it was worth it, especially with how much the PS2 copies are. Honestly wish Capcom had the rights (like they do with Clock Tower) and could remake it, giving it better controls and maybe better boss battles and more story and actions for each character, but don’t change their looks or change the time period (I like that the characters have great designs and that they have it set in 2003, giving it a unique setting). And even though the second game gives you more places to go, Leafmore High has so much charm and atmosphere, let alone a lot of places to go, that it feels more realized than the college in the second game.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

I loved Obscure! A completely underrated survival horror game of the period! Totally nails the culture vibe at the time (when Buffy the Vampire Slayer was still big on TV). Also has a great co-op mode which not enough survival horror games feature.

[@shecklesmack9563]

I still have my Marvel vs. Capcom 2 copy... but the disk doesn't work. :-( That seems to be a trend with that game. I wonder if that's why it's so rare, it's hard to find copies that actually work.

[@brickboy3420]

In my fav games shop here in germany u can grind the disc and they work after that. Not 100% guaranted but at least the CD looks brand new and its cheap only 3€

[@shecklesmack9563]

Just kidding. The game works, it was my PS2 that didn't read PS1/early PS2 blue discs.

[@stonerdemon]

Lucky owner of Blood Will Tell. Got it for $90 CIB three years ago and I also have quite a bunch of other PS2 heavy weights from this list, but there's no way on earth I'll pay $700 for Kuon, $450 for Rule Of Rose or $400 for Haunting Ground. On the other hand, I got God Hand CIB for $93 last week :D

[@Ckoz2829]

I got Haunting Ground and Obscure sitting on my shelf. Those have to be the most valuable games I one right now. They were my brothers, so I dunno how much he paid for them back in the day. Couldn’t have been more than $20-$40 a piece. I can’t imagine spending $400+ for these games now. They were great games, but damn! They weren’t that great! If anybody is curious, just emulate Haunting Ground and Obscure is available on Steam for $10.

[@stonerdemon]

@@Ckoz2829 You're completely right. If we didn't buy them in the past, it's because they weren't really good games. I always saw Haunting Ground as a "buy later" game, and Obscure was merely budget stuff (in hindsight, kind of a proto Until Dawn). But Blood Will Tell was incredible. I still have to get all the body parts.

[@Ckoz2829]

[@jinxglow6695]

I was surprised to not see the Vanillaware games Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire. They are two of my favorite games, but they’re both pretty rare.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

I had the exact same thought. The Vanillaware games were released late in the life cycle, with little marketing, were of good quality, appealed to a niche audience and didn't sell huge numbers. This combination usually guarantees super high resale value!

[@jamyskis]

@@GaryRetroGamer As far as Odin Sphere is concerned, I'm sure that one was hobbled by the fact that there is a superior PS3 & PS4 remaster of the game, which limits the appeal of the PS2 version to full-set collectors.

[@jinxglow6695]

That’s true, because I still have the tags on both the games and they are $19.85. They’re weren’t hard to find, and I bought them both at least in the past decade.

[@Zyrac85]

[@FuelAirSparkTime]

Retro gougers gonna gouge. Mostly generic weeb games and some that make no sense at all like the def jam one. And this market is rigged anyway to inflate the price of certain games so much like kuon or rule of Rose.. They make you think they are preciously rare games when the production numbers are about the same as any other game that's mass produced. A few 'collectors' get together and buy and sell the games to each other at increasingly high prices trying to make it look organic, then a few dummies with too much money or and no sense buy the occasional one as they are rising..or other people looking to get a game they want before it goes TOO high .
